FAQ
Questions
Can I choose where my server is?
Yes. You choose at checkout among the locations that are live.
Which law applies to my server?
The law of the country where the server stands. A complaint from somewhere else is read by a person and checked against that law and our acceptable use policy.
When do Bucharest, Amsterdam and Zürich open?
We open a location when the hardware is installed and tested. We do not sell servers we do not have. Write to us if you want to hear when one opens.
Can I move my server to another location later?
Yes, once a second location is live. We copy your server over and you get a new IP address.
Is this DMCA ignored hosting?
The DMCA is a United States law and it has no force over our servers. We run no takedown system, so a notice does not take anything offline. Copyright complaints are judged under the law of the country where your service is hosted, and you get 48 hours to answer first.
What happens if you receive a complaint about my service?
A person reads it. Unless it concerns something on our never allowed list, we forward it to you and give you 48 hours to respond before we take any action.
What is not allowed?
Malware, phishing, spam, fraud, attacks on other networks and abuse material are never allowed, in any location. The full list is short and you can read it in our acceptable use policy.
The details are in our acceptable use policy and our refund policy.
